In a 4-cup microwave-safe bowl, heat cream on high just until steaming, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.

Add the chocolate; let stand until shiny and softened, about 3 minutes. Add the liqueur and whisk until smooth.

Transfer to a ceramic fondue pot or ceramic chafing dish and keep warm over an alcohol burner or votive candle. (You can also use a very small slow-cooker, set on low.) Serve immediately with Dippers.

Tips & Techniques

Plan Ahead: You can make fondue up to 3 days ahead and refrigerate. Reheat gently in microwave until hot and whisk to recombine just before serving. Rinse and dry fruit up to 2 hours before serving; keep at room temperature. Cut pears just before serving.
